As I’ve said a million times before, I love all things cinnamon-y, and snickerdoodles are no exception. I had thought about making them here in Spain quite a few times, but almost all the recipes I found had cream of tartar – something which I can’t seem to find here. Maybe it’s somewhere…or maybe it’s … Continue reading →

I have no idea what happens to time. It’s like it gets sucked into some vortex, never to be seen again. Such is its nature I suppose! I have been baking and cooking, but now have fallen so far behind, I figured I could use one post to recap and be all caught up. So … Continue reading →

I decided to make these during a marathon baking day in early March – I was baking a making a bunch of things, and somehow in the middle of it all, I neglected to see that flour was an ingredient. I know. It’s listed in the ingredients, it’s referred to in the instructions, and yet … Continue reading →

I’ve gone on a baking frenzy. Typing this post right now, these cookies don’t come up as our weekly recipe for another two weeks! But, I got in the mood and basically baked for a whole weekend. Actually, truth be told, two whole weekends. More fruits of my labor to be posted soon. 🙂 I … Continue reading →

As I’ve said before, I have never really loved Valentines Day. Well, maybe since I was in grammar school. But yes, when it comes around, I do celebrate it by sending my friends goofy cards, and doing our office Secret Cupid and by baking things that are Valentine-ish, just because it’s fun to have a reason to. … Continue reading →

Espresso. Chocolate. Shortbread Cookies. What’s not to love, right? By the time this is posted, I will be in the early days of a lovely couple weeks in Spain. But I could not resist this recipe because, well, how can you resist ANY of those things much less ALL of them in combination?? Like Dorie’s … Continue reading →

I heart blondies. Me and them? We see eye to eye. We get along. It’s love-love. I made these and took them with me to the beach for a bachelorette party and somehow, in the massive piles of food that got stacked up on the kitchen counter, they got buried. That is, until 3am when … Continue reading →

I love cookies. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it a hundred times again. And I am not afraid to admit that I am a bit fussy about what I consider a GOOD cookie…not into the cakey kind, I need some crispiness, some texture, a little crunchy/chewy thing. So when I saw the blog … Continue reading →

This weekend I had the pleasure of having my mom in town for a visit. We had a marvelous time – did dinner and a show Friday night (for anyone in the DC area, I would highly recommend Little Shop of Horrors), and tooled around for much of the day on Saturday doing the Georgetown … Continue reading →

It is the Monday after Easter and I have a belly ache. No, it is not surprising…I shouldn’t even be close to surprised that my stomach is totally unsure how to process what I shoveled into it yesterday to celebrate breaking my Lenten sacrifice. I mean, after 40 days, it has forgotten what to do … Continue reading →
